Weird! I don’t know why it is not working. You could try a lower temperature for a longer time?

I used the clear Solo cups, in the oven for over 15 minutes on 350 degrees and the parchment paper was burning. I had to take out the parchment paper and put tin foil under them. They shrunk and the tops of the cups melted a little but so far that is all we got for our time and money and a big disappointment for my son.I tried the microwave oven on high for 5 minutes and that didn’t work. Now, I’m desperate so they are not heating in the NuWave oven. How can these clear, plastic Solo cups be any different than any other Solo cups. This just is not working.

I hadn’t thought of using cups. We’ve used lids and empty take out boxes. They’re like shrinky dinks, only free, lol.
